tapping sound
I've just replaced the coil pack and spark plugs on my vtr, not long after, when I started the car up there was a strange knocking sound coming from the top of the engine, when I rev the car slightly it seems to get quicker as the revs build up and slows down as the revs drop....
Any ideas guys? Cheers. Ado.

Have you over- tightened the spark plugs?

Did you drop something underneath the coil pack
Or even in the cylinder?

Honestly some of the replies here are retarded. A loose spark plug can make a tapping noise, so can Tappets but why would they be set wrong if they haven't been touched?
